FINALLY-Leahy to subpoena warrantless wiretapping docs.
Leahy to subpoena warrantless wiretapping docs.The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a business meeting on Thursday to authorize subpoenas for any legal opinions and advice the Bush administration has received regarding the NSA’s domestic spying program. Politico reports, “Under Judiciary Committee rules, Republicans can postpone the vote on the subpoena authorizations for a week, but Democratic insiders don’t expect Leahy will have any problem gaining approval for the subpoenas at that time.”

UPDATE: Last week, the Justice Dept. refused Leahy’s request to voluntarily turn over domestic surveillance documents for the ninth time.

2. And when they ignore the subpoena, will Leahy do anything about it?
I'm getting tired of the investigations, the accusations, the stern words, the subpoenas that are ignored, etc. When will the Dems actually *DO* something that will make a difference and shut down these criminals?

12. Nothing will be done. NOTHING.
So I'm a cynic. I'm willing to be proven wrong on this- I simply don't believe I will be. :shrug:

6. I'm beginning to sense a pattern here
Please Mr. Leahy, it's time to take off the gloves with these criminals. They are acting like the laws are not meant for them. Take them to school.

today."
It's like I'm always saying, "I should live so long."
